PURE FOOD A NECESSITY.
Adulterated Baking Powders Declared
a National Evil---ROyal found to be
the only absolutely pure Bak-
ing Powder made.

Governor Hill, of New York, says: II have
been astonished lately at the extent OF the
adulteration of fooI. 1t would seem that
every thing we eat is adulterated. n " This
adulteration of groceries is becoming a nation
al evil-one that we shall have to adopt severe
means to check"
work too speedily or too vigorously against
this wholesale adulteration of the things we
eat. Both the health and the pockets of the
people demand protection.
There is no article Of food in general use more
wickedly adulterated than baking powder.
The New York State Board of Health has an
alyzed 81 different brands purchased in the
State, and found most of them to contain alum
or lime, many to such an extent as to render
them seriously Objectionable for use.
The sale of adulterated baking powders has
been prohibited by statute in many localities.
1t will be in the interest of the public health
when their sale is made a misdemeanor every
where, and the penalties of the law are rigidly
enforced.
The only baking powder yet found by chem
ical analysis to be entirely free from lime and
alum and absolutely pure is the "Royal." This
perfect purity results from the exclusive use OF
cream of tartar specially refined and prepared
by patent processes, which totally remove
from it the ~tartrate of lime and other impuri-
ties. The cost of this chemically pure cream
of tartar is much greater than any other, and it
is used in no other baking powder. The high
grade of the Royal Baking Powder has been
fully established by the official chemists.
Prof. LOVE, who made the analyses Of baking
powders for the New York State Board of
Health, as we'll as for the United States Govern
ment, c%ertifies to the purity and wholesomeness
of "Royal."
Prof. H. A. MOTT, late Government chem
ist, says: "It is q scientific fact that the Royal
Baking Powder is absolutely pure"
DR.. E.. H. hartley, chemist of the Brook
Ign Department of Health, says: II find tho
Royal free from lime in any form"
Prof. McMURTR1E, chief chemist U. S. De-
partment' Of Agriculture, Washington, D. c.,
says: "The chemical tests to which I have
submitted the Royal Baking Powder, prove
it perfectly healthful, and free from every
deleterious substance"
Bread, cake, biscuits, etc.. prepared with
Royal Baking Powder will be lighter, sweeter,
and more wholesome than IL made with any
other baking powder :" leavening agent.

ROADS AND RRIDGES.
To the Supervisors of Roads anu

YOU are hereby directed to put the roads and
bridges of your respective highway dis
tricts in good order. The Board Of County
Commissioners require that the road hands OF
each and every district be called out and at
least twelve days work, for the year 1887, be
done, if necessary. All dead trees and hanging
limbs on the roadsides must be removed, all
loose rocks thrown from the %roadbed, and mile
posts lying on the ground replaced in position.
The law makes it the duty of superintendent
of highways to cause all roads in their respect
i've districts to be posted and numbered, and a
pointer placed at each fork of said roads, de-
claring the direction of said roads.
The following abstract Of the road law is pub

The persons warned are entitled to twelve
hours notice of the place and hour of working,
and of the kind of tool to be used and any one
who neglects to appear or refuses to work, shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon
conviction before a trial justice, shall be fined
not less than five dollars nor more than ten dol
lars, or be imprisoned in Jail not less than five
nor more than twenty days. The residence OF

THE MoRMoNs AND STATEHooD.-Out
of a registration of2O, 800 in Utah, less than
G,OOO voted for the proposed State Con-
stitution. The Non-Mormons refused as q
rule to vote, and only SO nays are recorded.
Thus the Mormons have failed ever to put
in a good-sized demand for Statehood. If,
as is claimed, the Mormon leaders com
manded the people to vote for this Consti-
tuition, this light vote must be taken as
another evidence of the decline of priestly
sway in the old Brighamic sense. The
action of the Utah commission declining
to recommend the judges of election to
accept ballots upon the issue may explain
the meagre results; but still if the Mormon
populace had been a unit in the matter,
they would have all done as some did
placed their yea vote on the legislative
ticket.

WHAT THREE WEEDS CAN DO.

Three weeds of moderate size and growth
will occupy as much ground, draw as much
nutriment from it, take in as much of the
life-giving sunlight, and of the food-bear-
ing atmosphere, as a good stalk OF corn.
It must be a very rich and strong soil that
can stand the full draft of two crops grow
ing on it at the same time, n of corn and
one ofweed, and yet stint neither OF hem.
The rays of the sun, SC necessary to the lie
and growth of nearly all vegetation, OF all
crops, come to the plants in direct lines,
and if interrupted by the stalks or leaves
of weeds, cannot 60 round them to reach
the corn. The carbonic acid of the air is
the great ~supplyer of the main portion OF
all crops, both stalks, leaves and roots.
But this carbonic acid exists in very small
quantities in the air, only about one quart
of it in $500 quarts of air. Air must be
moving quite rapidly to bring in enough
of this gaseous carbonic acid to supply the
wants Of a rapid growing corn stalk. A
whole gallon of the carbonic acid weighs
only 1I3 grains, of which it takes 7,OOo to
weigh a pound. Now if we leave weeds
stand alone with or near corn leaves, tney,
steal away a good deal or the car6onlc acld
that the corn leaves want; and 1t IS only
when the wind is blowing strongly that
enough comes to meet the wants OF Dotn
cornstalks and weeds. The practical les
son of this is that every weed with OF near
the corn is robbing it of the very things II
wants from the soil and from: the air, and
is also stealing some of its needed sunlisNt.
sixty to seventy corn stalks yield, on an
! average. about a bushel of corn. TWohun-
dred weeds use all the materials that are
needed by cornstalks enough to produce a
bushel of corn. He must be a poor, slow
worker indeed, who cannot with a noe,
cut and kill $500 weeds in a day II ne
takes them when small.
The evident lesson from this is, that after
we have used the horse implements TO Kill
out what weeds we can without gong
down to disturb the young roots OF the
corn, it will pay grandly to have men
90 over the ground with hoes to remove
the last weeds which are left. If q man
kills 1000 weeds in a day he has destroyed
a sufficient number of thieves to steal from
the soil, the air and the sunlight, which
would support stalks enough to yield ten
bushels of corn, worth So or 81. If the
weeds are not large enough and growing
thickly to rob the corn of all its needed
earth, air and sunlight, yet every Weed
that does grow is doing something to al
minish the health. growth, vigor and ultl-
mate yield of corn.
Brethren, think of these things, and keep
the hoe going at the right time. LOOK
upon every weed allowed to grow up as
being as much a robber of your crop, as is
the thief who takes it at night out OF your
corn crib with only this difference, that
the weeds rob the field in open daylight,
right before your eyes, and when you are
perfectly at liberty to murder them with.

SOLD H1MsELF.-A Correctionville far
mer sold a load of corn in that town one
day. When it was weighed he slyly
stepped on. the scales, and then drove off
to unload. When the empty wagon was
weighed he took good care not to be in,
and congratulated himself that he had
cheated the buyer in good shape. The
grain dealer called him in, and after fig
uring up the load paid him in full.
AS the farmer buttoned up his coat to
20 out, the buyer kindly asked him to
Smoke with him, and then talked over
the crops, and the price Of hogs, and the
likelihood of the Maple Valley railroad
building up that way, until the farmer
fairly squirmed in his chair with uneasi-
ness about his chores at home. At last he
could stand it no longer, and said he
must 60. The dealer quietly said it was
not to be thought Of; that he had bought
the farmer at full weight, and paid him
his w price, and that he would insist
on doing what he pleased with his own

HOW STONEWALL JACKSON FELL.

After night fell, Stonewall Jackson rode
out with hisstaff to reconnoitre in front OF
the line he had gained. 1t was his idea to
stretch completely around the rear OF
Hooker and cut him off from the river.
The night was dark and Jackson soon
came upon the Union lines. Their infant
ry drove him back, and rs he returned in
the darkness his own soldiers began firing
at their commander, of course, mistaklng
his party for the enemy. Jackson was
shot in the hand and wrist, and in the up
per arm at the same time. His horse turn
ed, and the General lost his hold of the
bride rein; his cap was brushed from his
head by the branches he reeled and was
caught in the ans of an officer. After a
moment he wa assisted to dismount, his
wound was examined, and a litter was
brought. Just then the Union artillery
opened again, and a murderous fire came
down upon the party through the woods
and the darkness. One of the litter bear
ers stumbled and fell, and the others were
frightened; they laid the litter on the
ground, the furious storm of shot and shell
sweeping over themlike hail: Jackson at,
tempted to rise, but his aid-de-camp held
him down till the tempest of fire was lull-
ed. Then the wounded General vas help
ed to rise and walked a few steps in the
forest; but he became faint and was laid
again in his litter. Once he rolled to the
ground when an assistant was shot, and
the litter fell. Just then General Pender,
one of his subordiates, passed. He stopped
and said
II hope you are not seriously hurt, Gen.
eral. 1 fear I shall have to retire my
troops they are so much broken"
But Jackson looked Up at once and ex-
claimed .
"You must hold your ground, General
Fender; you must hold your ground, sir!'
This was the last order he ever gave.
He was borne some distance to the nearest
house and examined by the surgeon, and
after midnight his left arm was amputa-
ted at the shoulder.
When Lee was told that his most trusted
Lieutenant had been wounded, he was
greatly distressed, for the relations be-
tween them were almost tender.

Lee, "but I have lost my right arm."-S.

A POPULAR FALLACY.-1t is a popular
fallacy that the use of glasses should be
delayed as long as possible, for fear they
will become Indispensable. The fact is
that among civilized reading and think
ing beings who have any proper appreci-
alton of the value of time, they have al
ready become indispensable to those who
can work more easily with them than
without them. We have all better use for
our strength than to waste it in a gym
nastic contest against time, when we are
sure to be the losers in the end.
By working the cillary muscle very hard
we can overcome the rigidity of the lens
even after it has ceased to respond to ordi.
nary efforts. But persistence in such ef-
forts merely obliges IS to close u books
earlier in the day, and lose in time what
cannot be made up by the satisfaction OF
being still independent of glasses. Wea:
riness, neuralgia, nervous prostration and
other ills are the rewards of too great OBJ.
security in such a course. Glasses bear the
same relation to civilized life as surface
cars, carriages and other modern conve,
niences. We could get along without
them. But why should we?

NSPLANT

It is not natures design that a tree
should be transplanted the seed is soWn,
the tree springs up and there 1t m
until age and decay brings it to the ground.
The seeds are carried from place to place
by the streams, the birds, and animals,
and the tree is soon ready to 40 its share
toward perpetuating its species. .
Man is not satisfied with this slow and
uncertain method of redistribution. BY care
and protection he prOpagates many plants
where only g few, if any. would naturally
grow. Then to distribute the plants where
he chooses to have them, he resorts to the
process of transplanting, and it is only
surprising that it can be carried on so
successfully under all circumstances as ills.
A tree or shrub, to be successfully trans
planted, must undergo a certain amount
of preparation in the nursery or green
house. In nature the roots OF a tree con.
tinue pushing outWards in search OF 1000
and moisture and become after a lew years
very long and widely extended, with the
young or feeding roots at the extremitles,
so far away from the tree n so twisted
among the stones in the soil and among
the roots of other trees, that it is not posi-
BILE to get them, and when the tree is dug
nothing but stiff stubs, bare of fibrcs, are
presented. A tree in this condition has
little chance of living, for the fine fbrous
feeding roots are very necessary. Ihey
are obtained in the nursery by frequent
removals or r~oot-prunings.
When a root is cut off it begins M
mediately to heal by forming granula-
tions between the bark and wood from
these granulations spring numerous fine
roots. In four or five years the stronger
ones of these push off away from the tree,
and must be again cut by pruning or
transplanting to keep them within bounds.
If the trees are carefully dug two or three
years after this root pruning process, it
will be seen that all the fibrous roots will
be obtained as they do not extend far from
the tree. Then with proper care in after
transplanting, success is certain. With
more frequent transplanting and root
pruning, the fbres will be so numerous
and closely packed that the soil will be
retained among them and the tree may
be removed with 4 heavy ball of earth
attached to the roots. This gives them
protection from the action of the sun and
drying winds, and makes success more
certain than with such care as trees usually
receive. A tree or shrub in this condition
is much like a plant taken from a pot
where it has been growing.
